Chapter 191: Cover-up
In the starry sky of history. In addition to the stellar emperors, there are many planets hidden beneath the light that orbit in unknown places.
To sum it up in human language, it can be described in four words: the mastermind behind the scenes.
The death of the four princes is full of strangeness. Whether it's the timing or the way or even his expression. There is no continuity.
Chonghua leaned on the pillow and wrinkled his eyebrows thinking about it. No matter which way you think about it, the four princes will not die voluntarily.
If there is no problem with the snack, then it may be the person who delivered the snack.
"Niangniang, someone just came to assassinate you last night, how can you still think about the affairs of the four princes now." Kikyo said anxiously.
His neck is being targeted, where is the time to think about whether others will die or not.
Chonghua straightened his cuffs: "Brother Chen said he would go to investigate." You don't need a heart, do you. Besides, I just knew that someone was going to kill me, and I couldn't find that person right now. Instead of being scared, do something meaningful. ”
The slightest problem that I am always afraid of cannot be solved. After all, now the enemy is in the dark, and I don't know how the other party will move. Instead of scaring yourself half to death before people come, it's better to calm down.
Born in modern times, because of the habit of life. Chonghua didn't have much of an idea about being assassinated. The first night's encounter was shorter. And it didn't get to the point of being slaughtered completely unilaterally. She's still going to fight back. And Luo Chen came back soon, and she didn't feel too scared.
If the other party's knife has already cut her, maybe there will be a bit of a psychological shadow at this time.
"Besides, what if the person who killed the four princes and the person who assassinated me were sent by the same person?" is used to watching TV series, and the thinking pattern is easy to follow.
In TV dramas, no matter how many characters there are, everyone will be inexplicably linked together. No matter which road the female protagonist runs to randomly, the male protagonist can find it by driving a car.
In reality, if this is the case, it can only be hehe.
The four maids listened to Chonghua's analysis and immediately felt that it was not unreasonable. The current situation is that the nobles and the courtiers' families are greatly injured, and there are only a few families who can free their hands to toss blindly. It shouldn't be too difficult to look up.
However, if it was really the eldest princess's hand, why did she do this?
The fourth prince has nothing to do with the eldest princess on weekdays. Even if you meet at a palace banquet occasionally, you are respectful. If it is to fight closely, the four princes are not as close as Luo Chen and the eldest princess.
"I only know that Zhou Wenyuan married the daughter of the eldest princess. This is what the Nine Emperor Princes inadvertently told me. So, is it understandable that the growing princess did this, and the Tongjiang Royal Mansion also knew it? Chonghua felt that in ancient times, if two families formed an alliance, then what one did, the other would know.
After all, everyone is implicated because of their in-laws. If you don't notify each other, if something goes wrong and the other party is in trouble.
"Mother, if that's the case. Tongjiang Wangfu must have known. Zimo also followed Chonghua's analysis.
They don't think much about this kind of thing in the past. After all, they are all subordinates who take orders and do them. It's not their turn to do this kind of thing.
"If the Tongjiang Royal Mansion knew about it, could it be the people from the Tongjiang Royal Mansion who did it, but in order to avoid suspicion, let the eldest princess come forward? After all, that dim sum is fine, and you won't die if you eat it. The eldest princess is still an elder, so there is no way to suspect her. Chonghua pinched his chin, and the more he thought about it, the more reliable he felt.
The four maids also nodded, which was indeed very convincing.
"Think about what you don't want to do." Luo Chen lifted the curtain and walked in.
The four maids hurriedly bowed their heads and saluted. Chonghua looked at him in surprise: "Why didn't anyone report you when you came back?" ”
The little maid who usually guards outside will report it. Unexpectedly, let the second prince lift the curtain by himself, he doesn't want to live anymore, right?
"I'm impatient with them, what's wrong with entering the door with my hands and feet." Luo Chen waved his hand to let the green kite get up and wait for him to change his clothes.
"Why are you back?" Chonghua looked at him with a pale face, as if the fourth prince was gone, and it didn't matter to him.
Luo Chen glanced at her from the dressing mirror: "Father suddenly said that he would not check, and I would come back." ”
Don't check it?! What do you mean? Chonghua sat up straight, his face full of surprise.
Luo Chen's expression was faint, and after changing his clothes, he let the green kite go out to serve. Chonghua asked Jiangzhu to prepare some refreshments. Looking at Luo Chen, he shouldn't have eaten lunch yet.
"I can't find out the reason in the old fourth palace, it can only be regarded as suicide. There is no way to say this kind of death, so it will be treated as a serious injury. Luo Chen lightly picked up the teacup and took a sip.
Chonghua can understand this way of dealing with the scandal covered up by your circle. After all, the history that can be passed down is whitewashed. How many emperors have Liu Che's courage to let the historian write everything.
As an emperor, I am most afraid of being talked about when I am in office. It is difficult to be a bright king, and it is also difficult to be a faint king. It is not only necessary to consider whether the country is safe and secure during the tenure, but also whether it will be pointed at after a hundred years.
I'm afraid that it will be difficult for the four princes to be buried in the imperial tomb. After all, it is this kind of death, and the historian can cover up the fact that he committed suicide, but the ancestral family law cannot accept such a descendant buried in the imperial tomb.
Sometimes Chonghua always feels that these emperors are hiding their ears and stealing bells. In modern times, there are special experts and scholars to study this kind of thing. From the clues, we can restore the historical truth of the time in eight ~ nine ways.
I remember that in modern times, Chonghua likes to watch the hundred pulpits the most. Among them, when Liu Xinwu talked about the Dream of Red Mansions, he also chased the live broadcast for a period of time.
From the plot of a book, you can see the historical background and what happened at that time. What could be more curious?
It's as if you're looking at a painting and think it's beautiful, but suddenly someone tells you that it's not the point, it's the painting that's hidden underneath it.
I don't know how people thousands of years later will figure out this prince who is said to be seriously injured and died in the history books, but there are no rules and regulations to be buried in the imperial tomb.
"What do you think? The soul is gone. Luo Chen frowned and waved his hand in front of Chonghua's eyes.
Chonghua blinked, and his thoughts drew back: "Oh, I'm thinking, the fourth prince can't be buried in the imperial tomb, right?" ”
Luo Chen raised his eyebrows: "Who said that?" ”
Chonghua's eyes widened, didn't he say that such a thing as suicide was extremely heinous, and he didn't have the face to say it at all? Could it be that your family plans to fool future generations but don't care about the rules of your ancestors?
"The imperial tomb still has to be buried, but it has to be cremated." Luo Chen's brows furrowed.
I'm going to wipe it, and I'm going to break my bones and scatter ashes. In ancient times, cremation was definitely disrespectful to people. Although Chonghua didn't think there was anything wrong with cremation. If you want to build a dungeon, you can build it the same. But it's just ashes inside. You don't have to worry about embalming yet. Even if someone robs the tomb, there will be no dilemma like the Empress Dowager Cixi's body being thrown out at will.
Didn't they all say that the Qing Dynasty emperor's underground palace was buried in the urn.
The reason why cremation is respected in modern times is not because of the lack of land. Every inch of land is valuable, and all the land is used to grow food, and how can people grow food when they are buried.
Chonghua felt that there was no way to talk about this topic. After all, she and Luo Chen's growth environment is different, and there is definitely no way to unify the thinking mode.
"By the way, did the person I caught find out?" Since the matter of the four princes does not need to be considered. Consider her assassination.
For some reason, Luo Chen's face suddenly darkened. If the matter of the fourth prince was only frowning slightly, Luo Chen's face could not be seen at this time.
Chonghua was stunned: "Is there something wrong?" ”
Luo Chen took a sip of tea lightly, and after a while, he said slowly: "That person is also dead." ”
Chonghua looked at Luo Chen in shock: "Died in prison too?" ”
Luo Chen would definitely not give him a chance to commit suicide, so there was only the possibility of someone coming in from outside to kill him.
What human hand can reach that far? It's not a place like a prison that anyone can just say they can enter.
Luo Chen nodded with a gloomy face, his eyes flashing with a dangerous light: "The hand is stretched too long." ”
Chonghua took a deep breath: "Not many people can stretch that long, since it is stretched out, it is convenient to check." ”
Luo Chen picked up a piece of tea and ate it in small bites.
Chonghua looked at the blue and black in the corners of his eyes, and he definitely couldn't rest well in the past few days.
"You go take a bath and get some sleep." Chonghua asked softly, and got up to summon the green kite to prepare hot water.
Luo Chen stretched out his hand and pulled Chonghua over and hugged him tightly in his arms.
"The queen mother is looking for me today." The warm breath hit Chonghua's ears, tickling.
Chonghua's whole body tightened for no reason, and his eyes widened and waited for the following.
Luo Chen looked at Chonghua nestled in his arms like a frightened little squirrel, and laughed instead: "The queen mother asked me when I planned to have a round house." ”
Chonghua broke free directly from Luo Chen's arms. With a white face, he leaned against the pillar at the door with wide eyes, and looked at Luo Chen in a daze.
Lying in a big groove, Queen, you are so blatantly discussing the issue of the round house with your son, okay?
Luo Chen squinted his eyes and leaned on the pillow rather leisurely. looked at Chonghua with a play-watching posture.
Chonghua was stunned, he wasn't angry? When a normal man finishes talking to a woman, when are we going to roll the sheets, when a woman behaves like this, the man should be angry. For example, I will ask a woman, do you mean that you dislike Lao Tzu or something. But Luo Chen's expression ...... It has nothing to do with being angry and a dime.
Could it be that he was teasing her?
No way...... Luo Chen is so strict, can a person make such a joke? R1152
